Overall, as an observer, I perceive a massive scattering of the people of God in these times, in this present age, on account of the politicizing and secularizing at the core of major denominations. Downgrade would be an understatement, it stems from a wholesale devaluing if not rejection of the...

Not that I am aware of, this Wikipedia article briefly explores the meaning of the phrase across different Christian traditions. Much could be discussed, from the meaning of the term "grace", to the differences between "common grace" and "redemptive grace", as well as key passages of Scripture...

I think the clearest examples are those preaching a Christ other than the Christ of Scripture. Key words are "pervert" and "any other". Perverting could involve adding or taking away from, twisting the meaning for selfish self-serving earthly gain, etc. I believe our sovereign God can save...

Yeah I've been addicted to caffeine for a long time now, without it, pounding headache. So many beverages have caffeine it's difficult to consistently avoid, and I've always had difficulties with strictly drinking water, milk, and other beverages without caffeine. I do love black tea also (not a...

Strange topic, looking at the Monism page on Wikipedia, appears to be yet another lengthy subject which I've only skimmed the surface of out of curiosity. I remember in the early 90's when I studied the Martial Art of Kenpō under a talented instructor with connections to Al Tracy. I remember my...

Come on down here to my neck of the woods, where the banjo has been a major attraction for decades. The cheapest brand of coffee available at Wal-Mart.

Reads more like a second commandment issue. In a broader context political party could be extended to any group or basically anything other than the one true God. I think evangelists and private jets relate more to commandments eight and ten.

I've always understood breaking the third commandment simply as using the name of the LORD in an irreverent way. Guilty as charged, Lord have mercy. I used to feel very offended anytime I heard the Lord's name being used in vain be it in a movie or being around other people...it is so common to...

From the beginning to today, it's always been the leading of the Spirit of God. The canon originated from the mind and Spirit of God, it is God's canon, his hand in history. Christ the head of the Church is the head of the canon. Without the head, what can the body do but nothing? Only walking...

Balanced? ^_^ Hunt's book is anything but balanced....okay compose yourself A_W, be nice.... Is this the same Oscarr who told me he was a Presbyterian or Calvinist about a year ago? Whatever happened to your confidence? I know you would not have said this a year ago, :sigh: another...

Dear Oscarr, please read my posts from the thread: Calvin Murderer from about a year ago. Your understanding of Church history above is nearly completely inaccurate. I think this post is below you really, as I've read so many of your posts, usually thoughtful, kind, and respectful. It just pains...

Very good, I like, no criticism from me. Do you have an art portfolio? If not these would be fine additions for an art school scholarship or for entering an art related profession to show a potential employee examples of your work.

Usually either through Spotify app or through PLEX app which I use to host media I've ripped into mp3, streamed from a PC with PLEX across home network in concert with roku or amazon fire and the PLEX app on those devices. No disc swapping, on demand in any room. There is a a remote server...

The antithesis of good is evil, if evil then good. In order for evil to be rightly called evil there has to be a transcendental standard of good. So as it turns out, the existence of evil, in a backwards way proves the existence of a good God, the standard by which anything "good" or shades...

No clue sorry. I believe in the power of God to answer prayers according to his will, and often we're clueless about the fine details of his will applied to ourselves and others. But it is good to pray, and humbling, for often I do not know how or what to pray or as I ought to (Romans 8:26)...

If we're on God's side, we're on the winning side, not that we have all the answers or we in ourselves even know how to win in every situation. The battle belongs to the Lord (1 Samuel 17:47), he will fight for us when we cannot (Proverbs 21:31), his word does not return to him void. (Isaiah 55:11)

Sounds like a question better suited for the more Scientifically inclined person, God gave me more of a philosophical mind, so it's the gift I try to glorify him with. The reason I say this is because it involves changes in the food chain, atmosphere, and probably many other effects apply to...

I will quote what you said about the laws of logic; "are descriptions of the behavior of reality." Which is false because as I pointed out, "inanimate objects do not posses "behavior", inanimate objects are part of reality. To correct yourself you come up with a distinction of conscious and...

I lost most of my zeal for debating Christians over Apologetic Methodology long ago. I wouldn't even be debating Mark except he kept nudging me over a period of months. So I decided it would be a good distraction from politics, and other sources of grief and sorrows, and good towards refreshing...
